The Mandela Effect

The Mandela Effect is when a large group of people remember something a certain way, but are actually wrong.  The original founder of the Mandela effect is Fiona Broome.  Fiona tweeted multiple times about different instances where she had falsely remembered something. She came up with the “Mandela Effect” when her and a large group of people had a predicament where they believed that Nelson Mandela had died during the 1980’s while he was in prison, but in actuality Mandela was alive.

The Mandela Effect launched on August 23rd when a blogger blogged about the Berenstein Bears and a cluster of people falsely remembered from their childhood that it was spelled “Berenstain Bears.”  The “Mandela Effect” actually occurs because the mind remembers bits and pieces of details from an experience.

Many people remember the Monopoly Man having a monocle, but he doesn’t. I was actually disappointed to figure out that he actually did not have one because i remember him having one on he monopoly game.

Many people remember Febreze being spelled like “Febreeze”, but it has really been spelled Febreze the whole time.

This one really got me. “Sketchers” has been spelled Skechers this whole time. I’ve been wearing these since I was like five.

Let’s test this theory, which one is the correct spelling ?

If you said Chick-Fil-A, you are correct .

If you’re like most people some of these facts probably shocked you or made you think . What do you think about the Mandela Effect ?

Sunflower

Sunflowers represent faith, loyalty , positivity, and long life . Sunflowers represent “long life, mainly since most varieties stand in full bloom for months on end during the hottest days of summer”(Green 2). Sunflowers start off small, as seeds . When the sunflowers grow, they grow facing towards the sun. The yellow on the sunflowers petals symbolize joy and happiness . In comparison of sunflowers to humans, humans start with small goals and as they grow , their goals develop into bigger goals .

 

Life is a growing experience. In life you have to go through the rain to have the sunshine. “Sometimes the sun dies and even sunflowers have to sit in the rain ” (Londrelle). People are like sunflowers , speaking metaphorically. You grow from the rain and it develops you as a person. There is no such thing as eternal sunshine, but with self love the sunshine could last forever and a day. Living in a life with positivity and happiness is the sunshine, but in order to appreciate the sunshine you have to have the rain. Without rain, there is no happiness and sunshine. If it didn’t rain, flowers would die. People can’t die from a “sunshine” that lasts forever of course, but when you have the rain you learn to appreciate the sunshine a little bit more . The sunshine and the rain make the flower grow ; just like a person .

 

Random facts : Sunflowers are my favorite flower simply because of what they symbolize, they look really good when the sun is setting,  and their vibrant yellow pigment .
